All my ladies put your butts in the air!!

Shake it like you just don't care! Raise your hand if you struggle with that thing called the double butt or saddle bags or cottage cheese. I DO!! Yeah, I said it. I've got all three of those "problems"...but my husband still thinks I'm beautiful (or so he says).

Well, have I got a great butt blasting workout for us!! I call it, The Flabby to Firm Glute routine. And they will whip your flabby sack of fat into a firm, sexy glute!

Perform these exercises one right after the other at least 3 times a week:

Bridge - Lay flat on your back with knees bent and feet on the floor close to your bottom. Place your hands by your side and lift your bottom up until your knees, hips and chest are in line. You should form a bridge. Repeat up and down 10 times, pushing through your heels and squeezing your glutes at the top.





One Leg Bridge Lift - Hold Bridge position, lift one leg up to the sky, foot flexed and continue with the bridge up and down motion for 10 reps on one leg...hold for next exercise.


Single Leg Flex and Point Lifts - Hold the One Leg Bridge Lift. With leg straight, lower your leg with a flexed foot until it's inline with your stationary leg, then lift leg to starting position with a pointed toe. Repeat 10 times. Remember to keep your knee, hip, and chest in line. Do not fall. Keep that glute tight.

After these 3 sets, repeat on other leg. then continue with these next 3 exercises.

Glute Kickback - Start on all fours (hands and knees or elbows and knees). Keeping legs at a 90 degree angle, press one leg up until it is parallel with the floor. Then return to starting position and repeat 10 times.



Glute Kickback with Leg Extension - While holding the Glute Kickback position with leg up, straighten out top leg, then bend back to 90 degrees. Repeat 10 times. Be sure to keep your leg parallel to the floor at all times during this exercise. Do not lower your leg.



Glute Press - With leg still in the above position, keeping leg straight, lift up and down. Do not lower leg to the floor because this is a very small movement. Concentrate on contracting your glute during the entire exercise.



Repeat this exercise on the other leg.

If you do this 3 times a week along with cardio, your butt will look fantastic in no time!!

Note: To intensify your glute routines, jump squats, lunges, and box step ups are great exercises that target your hamstring, as well as, the area below your butt and above your hamstring (where the fat collects).





Note: You are going to feel a burning sensation when you perform these exercises...DON'T BE AFRAID! Suck it up and push through that burn, otherwise you aren't going to get the full affect. :-)

Have a great week!
